CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS!!!! You give us all hope! Thank you for taking the time to share!
Congrats! This is wonderful to read!! :)
Huge congrats to you Maria! I love to hear this kind of stuff, and I know so many people on here in the early stages NEED to hear this! I'm a little over 16 months off the bottle, that was the monkey on my back. I too received wonderful support here and I'm so thankful that there is a forum like this for us to talk about these kinds of things. Keeping doing what you're doing and enjoy your new sober life! You're an inspiration.
Way to go maria! I'm so proud of you (and me too!) I'm 3 days behind you and still grateful for the support and understanding we could give each other.
xoxo

Maria WOW thats great 3 years, I have 376 days under my belt and can't wait to get to where you are. I too remember coming to MH to get some answers on how to get through w/d and wound up staying ever since. This is truly a great place to be when you need help through the rough spots. God Bless---Rick
Maria you got the braging rights so brag away. I want to tell you Maria you were here when i first came here and you have helped so many. Your heart is in the right place. If i had not read about sucsess stories like your,s Maris then i would not be over 205 days clean, and you never forget your friends. You did it Maria (THE NEIL YOUNG FAN ) You desserve all the credit you get. That is why im moving it back to first page coz you truely desserve it. And when you were doing your own W/Ds you still had time for others always. Maria i hope you are very proud of your acheivments as im very proud of you Maria W T G girl AWESOME job 3yrs is great. Enjoy the rest of your time Rocking the free world LOL Well again CONGRATS ON 3 yrs and im sure there will be many many more Well done Maria your friend James
Thanks everyone. Yes you can never have your guard down....always be prepared for the unexpected. 3 years ago I was in complete misery...never imagining seeing the light at the end of the road....restless in bed crying and actually feeling like death. Also feeling hopeless, worthless and guilty as sin. I am human, I made a mistake, I corrected it. I will be here as often as I can...life is busy and I m working full time now. Take care everyone. God bless us all and thank you for all the hoorays :) Maria
I'm so glad that some people take the time to share their SUCCESS stories. Too often, I think, the successful people no longer feel the need to post here because they are free from addiction which leads those looking for hope to believe that very few experience success. There are success stories. We can get better and return to our old lives being tolerant to normal, and excited in our "boredom". Thanks for this.
HEY CONGRADTS on 3 yrs !!!!! your doing so well we miss you on the forum and need veterans like you to show it can be done im so happy for you life is a beautiful place when your not chained to a pill bottle your doing great and im so happy for you keep up the good wirk and like Sara would say Guard up good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

You forget the 2 most important words........GUARD UP!
Congrats on your clean time. I remember you posting also. I'm glad to see you are still coming here. Have a good day!
Oh Maria, what can i say other than a BIG HUGE CONGRATS!!! 2008 sounds like so long ago doesnt it!! Man we were a mess when we came here.....I am so incredibly proud of you my friend. You have had your ups and downs but stayed true to yourself and held your clean time sacred. Do something nice for yourself today and everyday. This just makes me so happy!!! Off to do the happy dance, Minnesota style!!
Hugs to you, the baby(who isnt a baby anymore!) and the beagles~~sara

I m sorry you don t get the support you need but do this for yourself...You and only you. cravings bite is the butt...They do go away in time. Make the next couple months dedicated to you...YOU come first right now.
What a great post merrymaria - so inspirational. Thank you for coming back and letting all of us know how much better life will get.
I'm almost one year (around 20 days shy) clean and can not believe the difference in my life. It's great to know it's only going to get better.
Thank you. :)
Hi Jerry - you're absolutely right about your mind having to be in the right place. I want to be free of them, but I don't know if I want it bad enough...I'm still craving them so bad that I think my mind isn't in the right place...I don't know. I too am glad I found this forum, I need people to talk to apparently...I've been shutting myself in my room and not answering the phone, so I need some sort of communication I guess.
Thank you Merrymaria - I really need that right now. I am in agony. I dont't know if you read my post but I don't get much support from my husband, my addiction just seems to anger him and I don't get the love and support that I need. It's like if I can just take a few pills and feel good, we'll get along and everything is fine. This isn't right. Anyway, thank you.
Thank you so much...
Scared441...day2 will soon be a distant memory. I m praying for you. It took me about 9 weeks to really feel good. It seems like a long time but 9 weeks compared to a free lifetime seems minimal. We can all do this. We are all brought together for some reason I believe. If you get a chance listen to this song. It really helped me in my early days of recovery. Good luck everyone
